I am 42 years old expericeing alot of mood swings and night sweats the dr says because I still have period each month I am not going thru the change of life ,but my periods are not regular and very ,very heavy . do you think its possible That I am ??

Answer 1

I am fairly sure that you are in perimenopause. That's the period of life before menopause begins. You can have all of these symptoms during that time.

The one that concerns me is the really heavy periods. If your doctor isn't checking this out more thoroughly, or trying to alleviate it, you need to see another doctor. There are many other reasons for heavy bleeding. Sometimes a d&c can alleviate it. Either way, since unusual bleeding is a significant symptom, it needs to be investigated. Don't let this guy blow you off. See a specialist.

You can also be given some medications to help with your mood swings. I can't believe he just left you like this with no answers and no relief.

Menopause begins when you stop having your periods. If you skip one or two, or even several years and then start having your period again, your menopause clock zeroes out and you start all over again.

Visit some health care websites that can give you additional information. Mayo Clinic.com is a good one.

Good luck.

Answer 2

It's called peri-menopause. You are not considered to be menopausal until you have missed 12 months of periods in a row. Go to your search bar and type in "peri-menopause", "symptoms of peri-menopause", "treatment for peri-menopause", and "alternative treatment for peri-menopause". Research all that you can so you can make informed decisions about your body.

Answer 3

YES SOUNDS LIKE PREMENAPAUSE. YOU USUALLY START EXPERIENCING CHANGES IN PERIOD AND MOOD SWINGS A WHILE BEFORE THE ACTUAL CHANGE OCCURS

Answer 4

It could be possible. Just relax, you might be stressed out.

Answer 5

yes may be
